Camacho joined the Madrid coaching team after retiring then enjoyed spells in charge of Rayo Vallecano and RCD Espanyol – both of whom he led into the top flight – and Sevilla FC. He briefly returned to Madrid as coach in 1998 but resigned after just 22 days, citing differences with the board. Camacho replaced Javier Clemente as Spain coach in September 1998 and took his country to the quarter-finals of UEFA EURO 2000™. Under Camacho Spain ... qualified for the 2002 FIFA World Cup but he stepped down after losing a shoot-out to Korea Republic in the quarter-finals. After a two-year stint at Benfica he returned to his beloved Madrid in May 2004 only to resign in December after a poor start to the season.

Spain will have four representatives in next Wednesday's last 16 UEFA cup draw after victories by Barcelona, Celta, Rayo Vallecano and Alavés. The only team to be eliminated was Espanyol, despite drawing 0-0 at Oporto in the second leg. Barcelona went through thanks to their first leg result against Club Bruges. Rivaldo scored early on from the penalty spot but Verheyen took advantage of a misunderstanding between Petit and 18 year old keeper Reina to level the scores at 1-1. Celta went through 1-0 on aggregate against Shahkhtar Donetsk (which local reporters pronounce 'donuts') thanks to a spectacular first half header from Catanha, and Rayo Vallecano won 2-0 against Lokomotiv Moscow with two goalsin three minutes from Bolic and Alcázar in the second half. The result of the night though was in Norway, where Alavés beat Rosenborg by 1-3 after drawing the first leg 1-1 in Spain.
